Moral dilemnas. Unexpected death. New characters that you instantly fall in love with. Windows into the human condition. This is what the second one had that the first one diidn't. The first episode was surrounded in some mumble jumble hidden conspiracty that was fairly easy to see thru. Geez I wonder who wrote it vs the second episode. Both episodes feel contrived but the first one answers no question from the cliffhangers of the original series. This one does but I expect a pull back. Especially after some of these spinoffs don't product and it becomes necessary to consolidate the various salaries . Finally looking forward to a next episode.

Johnny Depp has cancer. Ignored it now he's going to die. But don't feel sorry for him, feel sorry for yourself because you aren't truly living. The pivotal scene where he tosses half the class out for a guaranteed C basically summarizes the whole movie.

This movie could be half a dozen Depp movies with the trademark looks and reactions. Nothing new. The scene where he picks up a waitress in the bar bathroom without explanation is classic Depp. The explanation is he's Johnny Depp.

In a way reminds me a lot of the movies where JD characters are drunk most of the time because he's drunk most of the time. The sophomoric philosophy near the end is painful.

You won't get the time back from watching this film. Lemme help you, this movies is only for rabid fans of the actor.

OK, its an old B&W movies starring a bunch of dead Hollywood legends...but...wait...until the first few minutes are played and your whole world is turned upside down by a great director's trick. Its like a punch in the gut that makes you question reality. Then get ready for the rollercoaster ride. Stuff of legends and many The Simpsons references. Don't watch the remake. Don't bother reading the rest of the review.

Grab a couple of cold ones and enjoy some crack actors telling a great story by a great director. This isn't just a Sinatra tour de force, it epitomizes a Cold War America. The karate scene alone is worth it.

Grew up in Dallas during the 70s and 80s, been to matches at the Sportatorium and faithfully watched Saturday Night Wrestling. The only thing missing was the chrarisma. The brothers interpersonal relationship and weaknesses were the focus. At the peak they were literally mobbed by girls and women making their way to the ring. Their popularity was spectacular and the director tried but didn't capture it. Also didn't really handle the fakeness of wrestling and what happens to guys who betray it.

Kudos to the actor who played Fritz. He brought Fritz back to life for me. Kudos to Zac for getting so jacked. IRL, Kerry was the superjacked one.

The Flash TV show is far superior at least the first two seasons. The movie version of Flash, Iris and the side characters are far superior and fun. The movie opens making the Flash look stupid and it gets worse until they meet up with Batman. I never really appreciated Michael Keaton's Batman until now. This is actually a Batman/Supergirl movie more than a Flash movie. If I didn't know about the Multiverse I'd be lost. I was lost any way at times.

It seems like today's movies are at a loss to portray villians with any type of ethnicity. The result is bland and uniform. Somehow the villians are Zod and The Soviets? How did Zod get into the picture? Supergirl looks like an afterthought. Little to know backstory. The directors also pull the "storyline redo" where time travel means superheroes never really got killed. Exasperating.

Save your money. Really put a stake thru the DC comics hero verse that the'll never recover from.

Oh, and the other reviewers so said the special effects were horrilbe weren't overcritical.

I'm been a big Jamie Foxxx fan since In Living Color. First, the characterization from the actors is excellent. It comforting the see Jamie back on the screen after his medical issue. John Boyega does a MUCH better job than he did in Star Wars. Its like he may be actually capable of heroism.

Like the directing, casting, cinematography but the script just falls flat. Its social commentary poorly disquised as Sci Fi. It's not terrible. In some places its funny and makes its point but I don't know exactly what it is. The movie says its to keep society in chaos but the reality it doesn't need clones and other things to keep us at each other's throats. Its a bit a paranoid journey.

I like the film and perhaps I expected a Hollywood ending and I got a Hollywood ending that I rejected because nobody rode off into the sunset with resolution. They rode off into the sunset in they's pimp ride chasing an unfulfilled life.

Same IMDB tripe. Masterpiece. Perfect. Flawless, blah, blah, blah. Its none of that. Its an overly long movie that at times confuses the viewers with flashbacks, BW to Color changes, historical liberties and political correctness. Don't get me wrong, This is the real Hitler and real Nazis and real antisemetism. But the whole latter half of the movie were Oppenheimer is disgraced due to his links to communism is overwrought. Didn't need to know how much of a philanderer he was. Could have fleshed out his relationship with the other scientists. At times too many characters. Good portrayal of Edward Teller.

Not a date movie. Any nerd has working knowledge of this man. Nothing new revealed.

A decent movie with a lot of production values and star power but at the end is just too surrealistic. You'll hear all the usual imdb rants: magnificent, a triumph, a masterpiece but its all overblown. Slowing a movie down making it mysterious and putting the stakes so high only gets you so far.

The movies starts well and who can't get enough of Anne Hathaway's gorgeous face but like the heralded soundtrack after a while it is overhelming.

Not every Christopher Nolan movie is a masterpiece from frame to frame. Not every action or lack of action has earth shattering consequence. Sometime its just a highly produced and directed movie that should of had a fresh pair of eyes look at the script before it went into production.

Movie moved veeeerrrry slowly. The two main heroes are a black brother and sister. Some people say this is significant but I just found their bickering grating. Lots of scenes and flashbacks that I don't feel contribute to the movie or built their characters. There's a whole subplot about a monkey that's a waste of time. The keke character is just aggravating, running her mouth, reliving every slight out of the past. Her brother is quiet and stoic, trying to work and make the family ranch successful. If there is a deeper meaning to this someone needs to enlighten me. IMO, the movie is a waste of time and money.

Rented this abomination 3 times from Netflix when it was a disc rental service. Never made it through. Is it still playing? Even though its been at least ten years I remember the drab brown outfits and biplane flying thru clouds. I guess that was supposed to pass for action. The most confusion was why certain characters were in love with each other. They all seemed so monotonous. I was almost glad when the Muslim nurse was to cut the thumbs off one of the main characters thinking "at least I'll remember this guy." Alas. This movie along with "Out of Africa" and "Crash" signaled the downfall of Hollywood. Until the redemptive onslaught of Marvel movies, Hollywood filmed internal and class drama instead of a straighforward plot. Thank god for Ironman.

Just terrible. People constantly yelling "Alicia!" . Characters having stupid arguments that have little future meaning. The blank expression on the limited actress who plays Alicia throughout the final episodes. Conversations that you can't tell are real or some type of sweat dream.

Even though I missed a season or two and many episodes I don't feel like I missed anything from a plot development or character development standpoint. There are unreal large chunks of dialogue of Alicia saying "This is going to beat me" and I don't think anybody cares. The writers, the viewers, the other actors just don't care.

Its like yeah, we know the series ends soon, but we don't have the writing energy or the money to put together a decent ending. This shouldn't surprise anyone since the writers haven't tried in seasons.

First Letitia Wright isn't strong enough to be cast as a lead in a Marvel movie. She's ugly, weak and whiney. No charisma. Compare her performance to Angela Bassett.

Second, what's the purpose of Julia Louis Dreyfus in this movie? Agent Ross? Just a waste of screen time and comedic talent.

Third, the antihero is explained but not really his forces. How'd he get the Vibranium and why aren't they not superadvanced as Wakanda? If it was explained I missed it. Just one of numerous plot holes.

Many other problems. Too long. Nobody seemingly gets killed. Almost A-Team like. And the ending, its like an apology that Wakanda needs a replacement hero. Michael B Jordan reprisal is just weak.

Although a bit predictable, I enjoyed this movie and look forward to another one starring the character Lou. Lou is an older woman a past. She's no nonsense who harbors some horrible secrets and they appear to consume her so much that she considers ending her life. Then one of the dark secrets comes back into her life and she goes into Terminator mode. This old lady can fight and has no remorse in killing. Soon the young mother and her daughter are involved. The reason it now readily apparent but easily guessible. The game is on and Lou believeable escapes situation and situation. The end leaves open to a sequel which I eagerly look forward to.

The pacing of this episode is good and backstory doesn't consume too much attention. Although the characters are flat, there is a redemption arc which is missing in many of the other stories. Acting is OK but is doesn't need to be great. Special effects are at times comical.

This episode is more twilight zone than walking dead. Or Office Space meets TWD.

The first two episodes of this series are enjoyable. The others aren't. I may stop watching. Actually I've either watched or fast forwarded through all six episodes. Too many dimly shot scenes with COVID spacing.

Really? A 600 character review requirement? That's longer than many of the scripts. Ridiculous.

Wife binged this show over two days and I never laughed once. It made fun of America, superheros and John Cena's acting ability. Made Arnold look like DeNiro. To the movie writer, a guy exploding in a pool of blood is a punchline. Of course the adversary is an outer space alien....or is it? I'd assert the adversary is your intelligence and not in a clever Blazing Saddles kinda way.

Supposedly this movie was written in a week during the COVID lockdown. It doesn't feel like that much effort was put into it. 90 minute script made into a series. I just downgraded it another star.

15 minutes in and the stupid decisions meter is at 8. The group of teenagers, more like thirtysomething, are togethers for some unknown reason. Other than camping they are going to hike 30 miles in 2 days for what?

The only thing I've got to hand to the producers is spend $1000 on some slick staircase in the woods, pay some writers a couple hundred dollars for a script and another grand for props.

Feed some starving actors and you got yourself a movie

Then sell it to a streaming service for a handsome profit.

She didn't believe. Was Judge Reinhold not available? Bad script, bad acting, bad camera work. Would somebody STOP shaking the camera? The shoot out scene must of been filmed by somebody else.

Stallone just standing there quietly doesn't pass for acting.

How the mighty have fallen.

I've watched the entire third season. It's basically the same as the first two seasons except they have to save existence. The only big difference is they don't like their Sparrow Academy counterparts. And somehow they forgotten that Reginald is an alien.

I felt I was strung out the entire season with cliffhanger episodes that were "resolved" predictably.

The ending was somewhat predictable.

There's a fourth season. I won't be watching.

Post Apocalyptic story about a beta male's journey to an alpha male. No Sex. No gunfire. And the monsters aren't that terrifying. Its almost like they were going for a G rating.

The main character is kinda a loser. He decides he's leaving the shelter of an underground lair (mucho symbolism) to see the girl he had a crush on years ago who's in another lair 80 miles away. They have serious doubts about his surviviability on the surface.

He meets a dog that saves his life. Then he meets an older man with a little girl that he's adopted. The man and girl teach him to survive the world of monster (more symbolism) and they leave him to search for his ex.

The rest is predictable. There's no doubt he'll turn into the hero.

Good performance by Jennifer Hudson and a couple other singer performers. Underwhelming performance by other nonactors trying to be actors.

The problem with this biopic is that most fans know exactly how it turns out. The roadblocks of the old south don't appear very obstacly when your reverend father has a huge church, huge house and huge parties.

At one point, the film implies childhood rape as the cause of Arethas two children but according to a little internet research that doesn't seem to be the case. In fact, I don't remember much of her children in the film

I'm sure Aretha fans will enjoy this movie. NonFans will be mildly entertained.
